ATTENTION 1960s ALBUM COLLECTORS!   HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 MONO ISSUE OF THE DEBUT ALBUM BY CAT STEVENS:"NEW MASTERS" SOUNDING MAGNIFICENT IN SOLID MONO! THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING WITH THE DECCA PRESSED DERAM "UNBOXED" AND "GROOVED" LABELS. DML 1018  WITH EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1A/2A MATRIXES AND HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "IMPORTANT" INNER SLEEVE AND THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER.

THIS LP HAS A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE AND TINY MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND PLAYS SUPERB DUE TO DECCA'S BRILLIANT LOUD,DEEP CUT MASTERING, THIS IS A LOVELY SOUNDING COPY WITH CLEAR SOUND WITH NO JUMPS,STICKS OR LOUD SWISHES! VISUALLY STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION UNLIKE THE MAJORITY THAT SURVIVE AND MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEAR MINT ESPECIALLY IN THE SOLID MONO MIX-TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE MORE COMMON STEREO EDITION WHEN MOST BUYERS HAD SWITCHED TO BUYING STEREO EDITIONS! THE COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES,A LITTLE STAINING+A TINY NAME IN PEN AT THE BACK BUT NO REPAIRS OR RIPS.VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
